Week 5 - Ready, Steady, Go!



Thank you to all who have complimented my jewelry thus far. It has been a joy crafting new designs and locating the perfect beads for them. I've been trying to work faster but unfortunately, the unavailability of my choice of jewelry components in Singapore (having to order from overseas takes one week at least) and the new school schedule has been rather challenging in more ways than one. But I plod on in the name of art! Here are a few pieces completed last week.



This is a stainless steel 16-inch necklace which means not having to deal with oxidization. My new series contains different centrepieces in an array of colours for different occasions! I'm still designing centrepieces and will show them to you in a week or two. This week's centrepiece is made from Delica beads in a shiny purple, green and gold tone. I used Swarovski rondells for the lacy drop which catches the light really well in the evening.


This is a Tiger's Eye cabachon which I beaded with an ultrasuede backing for comfort and durability. The necklace is 17 inches and completed with a strong matt and shiny gold-tone magnetic clasp. I mixed both matt and shiny beads to bring out the textures.
